von Braun's quote

[Juan Cires Martinez]

Well, if an equation can be an "elegant blend of philosophy and 
hardware", why not of philosophy and science?  Wouldn't science be 
closer to philosophy than hardware?  I have very fuzzy ideas about this
whole thing, but tend to see science as just another language, a tool
for communiating ideas, just as philosophy, or literature for that 
matter.  Maybe it is just that von Braun's assertion is "not elegant".

Saludos, Juan.
